Question

write down the difference between acid and base?​

Answer 1

A substance, mostly liquid that donates a proton or accepts an electron pair in reactions. An acid increases the concentration of H+ ions. A base is a substance that releases hydroxide (OH-) ions in aqueous solution, donates electrons and accepts protons

Answer 2

☆ Acid corrodes metals

☆Examples of acid are Hydrochloric acid, Sulphric acid, Nitric acid,Oxalic acid,Formic acid etc.

$\huge\sf\purple{Base:-}$

☆Bases are negatively charged OH- ions

☆ Acids are bitter in taste

☆ If a litmus paper turns red to blue is called base

☆ Examples of bases

• Sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
• Barium hydroxide (Ba(OH)2)
• Caesium hydroxide (CsOH)

☆ Most hand soaps and cleaners are bases
